Plant Operator - Warfield Whitehead

January 11, 1989

Warfield Whitehead, one of West Point's sewage plant operators, says the greatest achievement of his life was passing the licensing est which allowed him to attain his current job. He used to work on a road crew for the town and says that he jumped at the chance to upgrade himself. "I figured when I get up in years it would be hard swinging a pick and shovel everyday, especially when it's cold outside," says the 30-year-old father of three. "With this job, I'm using my head."
